Add-ons

Seriously Simple Podcasting comes with a growing library of add-ons. Just like the core plugin itself, all of the add-ons are 100% free to use and will always remain that way.

If you would like to contribute translations to this plugin you can do so through a simple web interface. Any and all translations (new languages or updates to existing ones) are always welcome.

Usage

Simply upload the plugin and you’re good to go. Go to “Podcast > Add New” to add new episodes and go to “Podcast > Settings” to customise your podcast.

Podcast media files can be uploaded directly into WordPress, hosted on the integrated Castos platform, or hosted on any other site – in the latter case all you’ll need to supply is the URL to the file. Please note that episode lengths and file sizes can only be automatically calculated for files that are hosted on the same server as the website – either way though, you can input them manually.

A great Plugin! Very easy to use. It has all I need for publishing Podcasts on my Website and for building the iTunes feed.Since the newest release last week even the player design can be customised.
Thanks for offering such a good tool for free.

I love this plugin. I tried a few others, but they were all too complicated to use. Seriously Simple Podcasting is super easy to setup and use. I really appreciate how great the support was also. They were very helpful in resolving any issues I had. Thank you. I’ll definitely recommend this plugin to others. Cheers.
